In early 2004 the Victoria Land Transect project sampled coastal north-western Ross Sea shelf benthos at Cape Adare, Cape Hallett, Cape Russell and Coulman Island from 100–500m deep. We describe the benthic macrofaunal assemblages at these locations and, to assess the use of seafloor sediment charac...
